A sound isolation cap for use with a sound level meter. The cap has a bore in which a plug snugly fits. The plug, in the open position, allows air to travel between the exterior of the cap and the cap's interior cavity. In the closed position, the plug prevents air from traveling between the exterior of the cap and the interior cavity. Air may travel between the interior cavity and the exterior of the cap by way of two passages. One passage connects the interior cavity with the bore while the other passage connects the bore with the exterior of the cap. When in use, the microphone of the sound level meter is inserted into the interior cavity.

A method for making a planar spin-on-glass (SOG) layer over integrated circuits at the corners of the chip (die) areas is achieved. This method allows more reliable integrated circuits to be made, and is particularly useful for liquid crystal displays (LCDs) by eliminating optical distortion at the corners of the LCD die areas. When a conducting layer is patterned to form portions of the integrated circuits over the chip areas, the layer is concurrently patterned to form a fill layer in the kerf areas. The spacing between the fill layer in the kerf areas and the edges of the patterned conducting layer in the die areas is selected to have a width sufficiently narrow to provide a uniform coating of SOG over the corners of the die areas without buildup of the SOG. After depositing a thin SiOx cap layer, a uniform SOG layer is deposited. The fill layer in the kerf areas also prevents dishing of the SOG layer when the SOG is chem-mech polished back. The process steps of this invention can be repeated to provide multilevels of electrical interconnections as required to complete the integrated circuits without causing non-uniformity of the SOG at the die corners.

A method of scanning a patient's mouth using a robot to obtain a 3-D model of the patient's teeth. A database can contain a 3D model of a generic jaw geometry approximated in size by geometric parameters and at least one jaw scanning pattern. Geometric measurements of a patient's jaw are taken, then these are applied to the geometric parameters of the generic jaw. A predetermined scanning pattern is used to program the robot to scan the teeth with a scanner. The robot program is executed to move the scanner along the jaw scanning pattern at a fixed or variable distance from surfaces of the patient's jaw in sequences of coverage to the end of a scanning pattern to produce a three-dimensional (3D) model of the patient's teeth.

A surgical table extension features a patient support structure, a large area base, and a support leg. A first joint having at least two degrees of freedom is located between the patient support structure and the support leg. A second joint also having at least two degrees of freedom is located between the base and the support leg. There is a stop limiting the range of motion of the support leg such that a portion of the base area is constrained to be below the first joint irrespective of the position of the base.

Five new methods for the formation of an improved liquid-crystal-on-silicon display are described, in which the device structure is enhanced by the photolithographic building of alignment posts among the mirror pixels of the micro-display. These five methods accommodate the fabrication of an optical interference multilayer, which improves the image quality of the reflected light. These five methods are: Silicon Dioxide Posts by Wet Etching. Amorphous Silicon Posts by Plasma Etching. Silicon Nitride Posts by Plug Filling. Insulation Material Posts by Lift-off. Polyimide Posts by Photosensitive Etching.
摘要:
In accordance with the objectives of the invention a new methodology is provided that assures that integrated process results are verified and assured prior to the installation of processing tools as part of modifying or updating of a semiconductor manufacturing foundry. The complete semiconductor manufacturing complement of processing tools is sub-divided into short-loops or sub-modules, which are then combined into a full loop. This combination of sub-modules into modules that closer approach a full complement of processing tools can be accomplished in a gradual manner, whereby one or more sub-loops are first combined and evaluated, to this combination one or more additional sub-groups may be added whereby each of these latter sub-groups may also have been created by combining one or more (original) sub-loops. This process is continued to the point where a full complement of process equipment has been created, completing the full processing loops of the semiconductor manufacturing facility.
